HOSE SAFETY
High pressure fluid in the hoses can be very dangerous. If the hose develops a leak, split or rupture due to any kind of wear, damage or misuse, the high pressure spray emitted from it can cause a fluid injection injury or other serious bodily injury or property damage.
ALL FLUID HOSES MUST HA VE STRAIN RELIEFS ON BOTH ENDS. The strain reliefs help protect the hose from kinks or bends at or close to the coupling, which can result in hose rupture.
TIGHTEN all fluid connections securely before each use. High pressure fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow high pressure spray to be emitted from the coupling.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate fingers or other body parts. KEEP CLEAR of moving parts when starting or operating the pressure washer.
NEVER operate the pressure washer without all guards and interlocks installed and functioning. Follow the

If any of these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately. DO NOT try to recouple high pressure hose or mend it with tape or any other device. A repaired hose cannot contain the high pressure fluid.
HANDLE AND ROUTE HOSES CAREFULL Y. Do not pull on hoses to move the pressure washer. Do not use chemicals which are not compatible with the inner tube and cover of the hose. DO NOT expose Graco hose to temperatures above 200_F (93_C) or below
